The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a distributed wireless micro-electronic-mechanical system which is deployed in hostile environment, has inherent insecure communication medium and resource constraints. This makes security of Wireless Sensor Network challenging. The blackhole attack is a security threat which manipulates sequence number to degrade the performance of the WSN by increasing packet loss.…

Optimal Sampling Strategy Enabling Energy-Neutral Operations at Rechargeable Wireless Sensor Networks
Due to nonhomogeneous spread of sunlight, sensing nodes possess nonuniform energy budget in rechargeable wireless sensor networks. An energy-aware workload distribution strategy is therefore necessary to achieve good data accuracy subject to energy-neutral operation. Our previously proposed energy aware sparse approximation technique (EAST) can approximate a signal, by adapting sensor node sampling workload according to…
There is a Will, There is a Way: A New Mechanism for Traffic Control Based on VTL and VANET
Traffic light is regarded as one of the most effective ways to alleviate traffic congestion and carbon emission problems. However, traditional traffic light cannot meet the challenges in traffic regulation posed by the fast growing number of vehicles and increasing complexity of road conditions. In this paper, we propose a dynamic traffic regulation method based…
VANET-cloud: a generic cloud computing model for vehicular Ad Hoc networks
Cloud computing is a network access model that aims to transparently and ubiquitously share a large number of computing resources. These are leased by a service provider to digital customers, usually through the Internet. Due to the increasing number of traffic accidents and dissatisfaction of road users in vehicular networks, the major focus of current…
Interference Suppression using Generalized Inverse Precoder for Downlink Heterogeneous Networks
This letter proposes an optimal precoder design using a generalized inverse structure for downlink crosstier interference suppression between macro base station (MBS) and femtocell access point (FAP) transmission in heterogeneous networks. Using Tikhonov regularization, we derive a closed form relationship between given MBS transmit power or interference constraints and the regularization parameter. Determining a Pareto…
Fault tolerance in Dynamic Cluster-Based Wireless Sensor Networks
Researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been increased tremendously in the recent years. Cluster-based Wireless Sensor Network out performs flat network in terms of data routing, energy dissipation, data load balancing, etc. A self organized cluster-based sensor network that has the cluster management mechanisms for new nodes joining and existing nodes leaving, is defined…
Structural balance and opinion separation in trust–mistrust social networks
Structural balance theory has been developed in sociology and psychology to explain how interacting agents, e.g., countries, political parties, opinionated individuals, with mixed trust and mistrust relationships evolve into polarized camps. Recent results have shown that structural balance is necessary for polarization in networks with fixed, strongly connected neighbor relationships when the opinion dynamics are…
Delay Optimal Buffered Decode-and-Forward for Two-Hop Networks With Random Link Connectivity
Delay optimal control of multi-hop networks remains a challenging problem even in the simplest scenarios. In this paper, we consider delay optimal control of a two-hop half-duplex network with independent identically distributed ON-OFF fading. Both the source node and the relay node are equipped with infinite buffers and have exogenous bit arrivals. We focus on…
Energy Efficiency Analysis of Cooperative Jamming in Cognitive Radio Networks with Secrecy Constraints
We investigate energy-efficient cooperation for se- crecy in cognitive radio networks. In particular, we consider a four-node cognitive scenario where the secondary receiver is treated as a potential eavesdropper with respect to the primary transmission. The cognitive transmitter should ensure that the primary message is not leaked to the secondary user by using cooperative jamming.…
Exploring the Impact of Social Communication on the Innovation Potential of Open Science Communities
As scientific communities become increasingly complex and interdisciplinary, implementing policies that foster collective creativity for science-based innovation emerges as a critical issue. In this paper, we investigate the impact of socio-communication strategies on innovation capacity based on experiments using a general-purpose model that aims to study dynamic processes of collective creativity in scientific communities. Experimental results…
